Abstract
A 40-year-old female who was admitted at Surin hospital died due to Vibrio cholerae non O1/non O139 bacteremia. This case was reported to the SRRT team on April 14, 2016. The investigation process was started by using a case-by-case investigation during April 11-22, 2017. We applied the descriptive epidemiology study. All contact cases were interviewed. The objective of the study was to confirm the diagnosis, outbreak investigation, and control. The medical records of the patient were reviewed. Contact case investigation of three household members were carried out by using rectal swab culture and was reported as negative. Pathogenic food samples cultures were also negative for Vibrio cholerae including samples from kitchenware and drinking water. This patient neither had a history of traveling nor had been in contact with any patients who had been suffering from diarrhea. The possible cause of death of this patient was deterioration of liver cirrhosis and multiple organ dysfunction. The SRRT team monitored all diarrhea cases for two incubation periods and found no new case of Vibrio cholerae diarrhea or bacteremia. The data from 2012 to 2017 has been reviewed and showed that no cases of Vibrio cholerae had been reported in Surin Province.
